I have taken this quiz on Beliefnet.com
more than once. After I had begun to question whether Jesus of Nazareth was "God Incarnate," I consistently had Judaism and Islam in my top 3-5. This makes sense, as I do believe in an all-powerful G-d.

Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad.

I know I'm not a Muslim because I fail the easy test: I don't believe in Muhammad as the Prophet. He may have been a discerning man who had visions, he may have been a very devout follower of G-d, but I don't believe he's the end-all, be-all in a religious sense, and while I do find common ground with many Islamic beliefs, I also take exception to some as well.

One of the funniest things I've found while taking this quiz was the legal disclaimer at the start:

Warning: Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul.


How great is that? :D
